<h1>Using the Drill panel </h1>
<p>The Drill panel is used to drill when DHTML is disabled or when you 
 set up multiple drill paths and view a report once they </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Drill from an attribute to its immediate parents or 
 immediate children.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Drill from a compound metric to its underlying metrics.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>A report designer using MicroStrategy Desktop can customize the options 
 that appear for each attribute on the Drill panel, so you might have different 
 drilling options than described here. A Web administrator can also customize 
 drill settings under the Drill Mode page&nbsp;of Project Defaults.</p>
<h2>To drill from one attribute or metric</h2>
<p>You can only drill down when you drill on one attribute or metric using 
 the Drill panel. To drill in other directions, see the next procedure.</p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the name of a report to execute it. The report 
 must be in either Grid view or Grid and Graph view.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Locate the Drill panel.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Drop-down lists appear under the names of each attribute 
 and drillable metric on the report. Select an object from a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>To</B></span> 
 drop-down list to drill to that object from the attribute. For example, 
 beneath <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>From: Region</B></span>, select Country 
 from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>To</B></span> drop-down list. This 
 allows you to drill from Region to Country.</p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 If DHTML is disabled, a check box is displayed next to each of the drillable 
 attribute elements and metrics on the grid report itself. You can select 
 these check boxes to filter based on certain criteria. Select the check 
 boxes next to the elements from which you want to drill. If you do not 
 select any of the boxes, you drill from all elements corresponding to 
 the selected attribute or metric from which you are drilling. </p>
<ol start="4" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>To also see the parent attributes on the new report, 
 select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Keep parent while drilling 
 </B></span>check box.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span> 
 next to the chosen attribute or metric. A new report is displayed that 
 shows the requested level of detail. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="6" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>To return to the original report results, click <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> <img src="images/backbutton.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="26px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs4"> above the report. </p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 Pressing the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> button on your 
 browser does not return you to the original report results.</p>
<ol start="7" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>To drill up and across from one of the attributes or 
 compound metrics, click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>More options</B></span> 
 link next to the attribute or metric.</p></li>
</ol>
<h2>To drill from multiple attributes or metrics</h2>
<p>The Drill - Advanced panel is displayed when you click one of the <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>More Options</B></span> links in the Drill panel. 
 </p>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the name of a report to execute it. The report 
 must be in either Grid view or Grid and Graph view.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Locate the Drill panel. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>More options</B></span> 
 next to the drop-down list for the attribute or metric from which you 
 wish to drill. The Drill - Advanced pane is displayed. A new drop-down 
 list also appears. It provides a list of the hierarchies to which you 
 can drill from the selected attribute. The area below displays objects 
 within that hierarchy to which you can drill.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the drop-down list, select a hierarchy to which 
 to drill. The hierarchies in the drop-down list are updated automatically.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If DHTML is 
 disabled, you must click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Update</B></span> 
 button to show the attributes in the chosen hierarchy. </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p>From the area below the drop-down list, select the attribute 
 you wish to drill to.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>If you want to see the parent attributes on the new 
 report, select the<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Keep parent while 
 drilling</B></span> check box. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Apply</B></span>. 
 MicroStrategy Web launches a new report that shows the requested level 
 of detail. </p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="8" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>To return to the original report results, click <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> <img src="images/backbutton.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="26px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs4"> above the report. </p></li>

 Pressing the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> button on your 
 browser does not return you to the original report results.</p>
